After several months of procrastination and lack of funds, I was finally able to rebuild my KA and put it back in the car. Well, I bolted everything up, connected every possible connector and when I connect the battery, none of my accessories turn on (i.e., no chime when I open the door, no 12:00 on my gauge, etc.) However! My lights do turn on, but my pop-ups don't work. I can't even get the car to start (no cranks, nothing) and my clock illuminates when I turn the key and that's it. Anyone else ever come across this? I busted my a** today at the shop to get this done and this setback drove me insane.



EDIT: She starts up and runs fine, but none of my accessories turn on when I turn to ACC. I checked all the relays and there's proper power going to each one.
